Chapter 531: Preparation
Chapter 531
Zhang Mingde thought of this and smiled sneakily.
The aggrieved girl helped the little one carry the lantern to lead the way. Seeing that he walked to the fourth master, Zhang Mingde straightened his clothes, sent a lantern that was not very bright in his hand to Qu Yao, and said in a low voice.
Qu Yao took the lantern with a smile, bowed slightly, and said softly: "Don't be wronged, I have to have a lot of honor guards this time!"
After speaking, he also learned from Zhang Mingde's appearance, lowered his body, hunched his waist, carried the lantern in front of him, and came to the fourth master very respectfully, and it was also a loss that she had stayed in Qingyuan's room for a long time, and she was infected with a faint musty smell, otherwise she would rush at the faint fragrance on her body, I was afraid that if I didn't wait to walk to the fourth master, I would have to be pulled out of the group of little eunuchs by Su Peisheng, who had bright eyes and bright hearts.
Maybe it was because it was dark under the lamp, Su Peisheng watched a little eunuch (Qu Yao) walk in with a lantern, but he just glanced at it, and then focused on the fourth master.
Smoothly returned to the fourth master's residence in the front yard without saying a word, Zhang Mingde took the opportunity of Su Peisheng to serve in front of the fourth master, hid Qu Yao in his own room, and then returned to the outside of the study, waiting for Su Peisheng to greet him inside.
"Whew!" Sitting in Zhang Mingde's room in the dark, Qu Yao slowly exhaled his turbid breath, patted his small breasts that were still fluttering and jumping, and took advantage of the moonlight outside, which was not bright, lying on the window, through the crack in the window, observing the little eunuchs coming and going, but it was not difficult to pass the time.
But this is just an hour, she gradually became uneasy, for fear that something would go wrong and ruin her good deeds, and at the same time, she was a little worried that with her current outfit, it is estimated that tomorrow morning, as soon as the fourth master wakes up, even if he sees her in bed, he will send her out of sight.
After all, a woman who dares to calculate a high-ranking prince, even if she dies, absolutely no one will say a word for her.
Just when Qu Yao was thinking wildly, and had already thought of the mass graves often mentioned in TV series and novels, the locked partition door that was falsely covered by Zhang Mingde was suddenly gently pushed open from the outside, and she didn't care about the messy thoughts in her head, and what other problems with her appearance and image, she hurriedly shrank into the gap between the bed and the wall, and pulled the bed curtain to cover it, leaving only a line of gaps, and secretly exposed one eye to look out.
"Grandpa Zhang, is there no one in the room?" the person who came lit the candle on the table, took a cursory look around the room, and then turned his head to Zhang Mingde, who was standing outside the door, and said respectfully.
Hearing Qingyuan's familiar voice, Qu Yao breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't come out rashly.
The heart of defense is indispensable, if something happens to Zhang Mingde, then Qingyuan will not be credible, who knows if someone is acting for her!
"Girl, why are you hiding here? But before she could secretly praise her cleverness, Zhang Mingde's somewhat oily face leaked out of the window, and she pulled open the curtain of the bed she was holding in her hand with a smile, seemingly respectful, but in fact said sarcastically.
"I suddenly heard footsteps, and I was worried about causing trouble for my father-in-law, so I hid. Qu Yao pretended to smile calmly, walked away from the corner of the wall full of dust mites, came to Qingyuan, and said softly, "It's my father-in-law, why did you call this little girl too, you are not afraid of attracting the attention of others, if this thing leaks, we will be finished!"
"Rest assured, girl!
At this time, the fourth master has rested, and the yard is locked, except for the guards guarding the yard, everyone else is asleep, she was brought in by me through the hole in the root of the back wall, and she will be sent out after you finish dressing, and others can't see it.
It's just that I'm going to wronged this girl!
Today, she is afraid that she will not be able to go back, so she can only find an unnoticeable corner, and the cat will stay overnight, waiting for the dawn of the morning, and sneaking back to the Linglong Pavilion while those rough servants are sprinkling and sweeping. Zhang Mingde didn't enter the house and just separated the window, pretending to wash his boots under the porch, and whispered without looking at Qu Yao.
"It's rare for Father-in-law Zhang to plan so carefully, then I'll rest assured!" In front of Zhang Mingde, Qu Yao did not show that he was very familiar with Qingyuan, shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly, and said lightly.
It's just that at an angle that Zhang Mingde couldn't see, Qu Yao smiled apologetically.
Qingyuan also knew that it was not a good thing to be familiar with Qu Yao now, so since she entered the door, she never said a word to Qu Yao from beginning to end, and she stood aside with a polite expression and prepared things without looking at Qu Yao.
Zhang Mingde didn't notice Qu Yao and Qingyuan's small movements, or he didn't care about it, smiled on the hem of the robe, wiped his hands, pretended to close the window, got up to Qu Yao, and whispered: "Time is urgent, this is not the time to speak, let's let her wait for the girl to wash and make up first, after all, if the guards change shifts over there, it will be even more difficult for the slave to send the girl in." ”
After speaking, he closed the window without waiting for Qu Yao to reply, squatted back under the porch, and continued to brush his shoes.
Zhang Mingde's actions did not attract anyone's attention.
Being an errand in the house is a 24-hour job, although there are also shifts, and there are days of bathing, but in the end there are very few, and when you are on an errand in front of the master, you have to pay special attention to the smell on your body, so like Zhang Mingde, a second-class eunuch who has some face in the house, but there is no little eunuch to serve, these washing and brushing work, in addition to handing over to the pulp to do, can only take advantage of the master's rest, hurriedly cleaned up.
Even when Su Peisheng passed by Zhang Mingde's side when he returned to the room, he just smiled faintly and nodded, and he didn't have the idea of turning over here to take a look, but he didn't expect that his good apprentice seemed to be letting off the wind outside, but in fact, he had been waiting for Su Peisheng to come out of the fourth master's room.
Seeing Su Peisheng walk away, Zhang Mingde, whose legs were numb, splashed the water for brushing his shoes into the yard, and then returned to the house with a depressed look, and the little eunuchs next to him who had not yet slept laughed.
It's no wonder that Zhang Mingde's popularity among these eunuchs is not good, who let him worship Su Peisheng as a master at the beginning, and when he was not even a second-class eunuch, he put on the prestige of a great eunuch, which attracted many old people to have opinions about him, that is, Su Peisheng has a bit of face in front of the fourth master, otherwise he would have been killed to work as a coolie in the Criminal Division for Zhang Mingde's villainous appearance.
"How's the preparation?" Zhang Mingde put the copper basin on the ground as soon as he entered the room, and asked in a low voice to Qu Yao, who was changing clothes and washing behind the screen.
